Fairy Heart

Well, today I have couple of samples using a stamp which I would normally shy away from, a fairy!! For anyone who knows me, you will know that this is VERY unusual for me.

I was asked to try it for a new kit that is being launched by Artcuts at the Kirsty Allsop Handmade show at Hampton Court, in September. But shock horror!!!, I found that I got carried away 'playing' with it afterwards.

Even my mother commented that, "for someone who doesn't like fairy stamps, you seem to be doing alright with your samples". So that was nice to hear.

But, I have to admit, I have enjoyed working with this stamp.

It is a Lavinia fairy called Giselle, and in this first sample I have used it in conjunction with a Chocolate Baroque stamp called Fantastic Florals, as the background.
The tiny butterflies are Artcuts embellishment butterflies, coloured and glittered.

I like the fact that you can use part of the stamp and she still looks good. So she fits on the smaller heart too.

I have also used her with a Hobby Art daisy stamp on the background.

I will show you this next time as I haven't managed a photo of it yet.

About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog.
I'm a reluctant blogger, always in a muddle where computers are concerned, but after admiring other crafters' work, I decided I'd like to share some of my creative bits too.
I'm a lover of rubber stamping, cats and anything owl related.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting :)
